Do Not Become Discouraged In These Times, Stand Firm!

 So much is happening in this world, so much darkness, trouble. But we should not be discouraged or become worried or become surprised. We are living in the end times. Prophecy has to come to pass. Everything has been written in the Bible of what is to come from the beginning to the end. It is not a time to shrink back in your faith. This is the time to become a prayer warrior and be at peace and discern also be strong and not be afraid, this is the time to be bold like a lion and harmless as a dove, stand in what you believe in. You have a foundation that you were built on. Be a pillar. Many of you know that Jesus is your Savior and that you are filled with the Holy Spirit. If your not saved please make Jesus your Savior. Be ready to share the Gospel at all times be connected to the body of Christ, the church. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Matthew 6-33.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16-33

 “The wicked flee when no one pursues,
    but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28-1

"All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God--the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name". Rev 3-12

If you read this blog and you want to accept Jesus as your Savior lets  pray:

Heavenly  Father, I ask you to come in my heart and wash my sins with your blood that you shed on the cross for me.

Forgive me for my sins, I repent.  I ask that you write my name in the book of the life. And I ask that you fill me with the Holy Spirit . Amen!  You made a great decision!

Strength to Strength

"It was year of 2013 which was an interesting year in our walk with God! I felt hard-pressed in many ways...including in my health also my wife diagnosed with Lupus, and me being unemployed for several months kept me financially and spiritually challenged, 'BUT GOD' NEVER shows up late. My health is good, Estela is cured 'No Lupus' and I'm employed. We all fall down in life but the question is WHO GETS BACK UP? "What if" never goes to the arena! NEVER let fear hold you back! When God created you, He made you powerful beyond measure! See yourself as God sees you!"

 By David Rosas (my husband)

 Strength to  Strength 

By Estela Rosas 

2 Corinthians 4:8-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

⁸ We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; ¹⁰ always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. ¹¹ For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So death is at work in us, but life in you."

Those who are passing through the valley of Baca make it a well. Traversing joyfully the road to the great assembly, the happy pilgrims found refreshment. As around a well, men meet and converse cheerfully, being refreshed after their journey, even in the dreariest part of the road. With its joys unspeakable, the rain also filleth the pools. God gives to his people the supplies they need while traversing the roads that He points out for them. Where there were no natural supplies from below, the pilgrims found an abundant compensation in waters from above.

Stay encouraged and don't give up. At times it is even in the dreariest part of the road we may feel like there is no Hope, but "Don't give up". There is Hope and Restoration. Keep on Believing and declaring the promises of God. God gives the strength we need to keep moving forward. Having Faith, Trust, Obedience, Gratitude, Praise.

Continue to have faith in the midst of what see in front you, Continue to trust God when you have no understanding of why. And be obedient, follow the instructions and submit your heart to what God is calling you to do. Be thankful at all times,  so that you can receive more from God. Praise God in the midst of your journey, even though it may be dry at times. Feed off the faithful God who comes and quenches your thirst with His Living water -- the word and His Holy Spirit.

As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. (Psalm 84:6, 7 ESV)

Being Confident!

 

As I ponder today and mediate on God awesomeness, it brings me peace to know that I am not alone and that His Spirit is with me to guide me and show me the changes I still need to make. I’ve learned that when we begin to follow the Spirit of God we become the woman or man God wants us to be.  As long as we are yielded and submitted to His guidance and follow Gods word, He will direct our path.  “In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3-6.

At times we want to take control of everything in our life but we need to stop and consider the greater destiny He has for us and we need to just let go; we have to trust and be faithful to God. It’s all completed in His timing when we remain STEADFAST in His promises. The bible says, He knew us before the foundation of earth, God knows everything about us. He knows our deepest desires. God wants us to trust Him be yielded to Him and just become an OPEN BOOK. DECLARE this:  ‘Nothing will hold me back from the great purpose and destiny that He has for my life!’

When you stand on His promises it removes any doubt that ‘God who started this great work in me would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears. Philip 1-6

In my dream, there were many people outside in the cold, shaking, and they had no coats.  We gathered at church, opened its doors wide, and asked them all to come in. We gave each one a warm coat. The faces of everyone wore a big smile because they were touched with God's love and they were kept warm with the coat given to them. The presence of God was with them. What a dream!
If you're cold today and need to feel the warmth of a coat on your back, God is waiting to give you His coat. It will keep you warm. It's a protective mantle of covering filled with His Love. Embrace it! I had to share.
Be blessed!

 Ephesians 1:6

^3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.

Finding Strength Today!

As mom of all boys who are teens right now, I find myself praying and asking God to give me strength. You can imagine cooking meals for 5 and working from home, cleaning and all the other duties of a mom!

At times it can be overwhelming.  What I have learned to do is pause for a second and meditate on the promises of God  Philip 4:13 - I can do all things through him who strengthens me. I confess this word with my mouth. This does not mean, that  I will grow muscles overnight and become a Wonder woman.

This means that God will strengthen me supernaturally to have strength to deal with the daily challenges I may be facing.

Sometimes we need strength not only the physical strength, but we need the mental strength to deal with circumstances, you are going through .

Take a pause and breathe and set the priorities of what you should do first.

I was encouraged and I had to share what I had read, as I was studying my bible today, you may find yourself without strength today, overwhelmed. Rest in God today and read. Paul was content because he could see life from God's point view. He focused on what he was supposed to do not what he felt he should have. Paul had his priorities straight, and he was grateful for everything God had given to him.

Clear your mind today and meditate on God and His priorities and ask Him to guide you.

Today he will give you the strength you need today.  You may have tons of laundry, dishes in the sink, or meetings or appointments, deadlines and you have looked at your watch and you’re behind schedule.

Ask God for strength and remember that you can do all Things in Christ who strengthens you!

I have these promises of God that you can declare today:

2 Corinthians 12:9  My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

2 Chronicles 16-9  For the eyes of the Lord move over all the earth so that He may give strength to those whose whole heart is given to Him. You have done a foolish thing. So from now on you will have wars.”

Isaiah 41:10  Fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Chronicles 16:11  Seek the LORD and his strength;  seek his presence continually!

Exodus 15:2 The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Psalm 18:32-34  The God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

So, if you’re a mom, you have the strength to tackle that laundry today and Rejoice!

Be encouraged and don't give up!  Keep a grateful heart of Thanksgiving today. You have strength in Christ who is in you!
